Bugzilla virtual machine download

Bugzilla preinstalled on Linux can now be downloaded in a single vmware file - just download the virtual machine and run it in your free VMWare Player. This is a great idea, really useful for doing software evaluations, setting up a personal bug database at home, and could even be stuck on a vmware server and used as a production bug database in smaller companies.

Tool overviews needed for magazine

Help publicise some open source testing tools! I just received the monthly email from Stickyminds, and they are looking for Tool Look contributions for Better Software magazine. A Tool Look is not a review, but an overview by a real user of a current tool that will help readers determine if they want to explore the tool more on their own. Authors should not be affiliated to the tool. To be considered for publication, send your submission to editors@bettersoftware.com.
